Happy 4th Birthday, One Doggie!

Much to my surprise, Jared woke up yesterday and announced to me that it was One Doggie's birthday. Wow, I did not know! He had already come up with plans, and the pictures with this blog tell the story of the little celebration we had for him.

If you do not know of One Doggie, you can read our previous blog about the trauma of losing him for a little bit to see the role this stuffed dog plays in the boy's life.

First, we had to make a trip to Target, with One Doggie of course. We had to get a couple of things and get One Doggie a birthday present. What do you get a 4-year-old stuffed dog? Come on, you know! After much hemming and hawing, circling around and around in Target, and driving Mama crazy, Jared finally decided that One Doggie was thirsty and wanted bottled water for his birthday.


Then we got home and had to make him a cake out of Moon Sand, out of "safe" eggs of course, because One Doggie apparently has food allergies as well. If you don't know Moon Sand, it's a fine moist sand that sticks together to make shapes and never dries out. We put it in a tupperware bowl and he put it in his toy oven to bake. While it baked, he wanted to make a card for One Doggie while I made a party hat. Why there is a picture of a zebra in the card, I do not know, but it is pretty cute.



When the cake was done, we put in the "4" candle which was purchased at Ralphs approximately 2 months ago because Jared can't wait for his 4th birthday, which is still 5 months away. Then we propped One Doggie up, put on the party hat, and seriously, had to sing Happy Birthday. Outloud. Then, he helped One Doggie pretend to blow out the candle, got his plastic Ikea knife from the kitchen, and cut him a piece.

I guess One Doggie ate too much because then he got a stomachache.

Happy Birthday, One Doggie!
